There's movement folks!

okay so...what would be the character distribution here

I kinda see Teyana as DL, idk the rest

[gearhead]

The only roles I can imagine Alana in is either being one of Prairie's friends, or as a part of Isaiah Two Four's circle given her musical background... Or possibly as a ninjette?? who knows.

Just realised that Teyana Taylor is the woman from that famous Kanye West music video.

Interesting casting choices. There are now at least three people with musical abilities in the cast. Don't know if that signifies anything.

"The film commission was first notified by the location team for the studio feature film in April of 2019.  "We are honored to have been on their radar for all these years and for the project to finally come to fruition..."

PTA's been prepping this since 2019!?!?!

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that he had a project that was pretty far along pre-COVID, and he temporarily shelved it and pivoted to Licorice Pizza as an easier thing to tackle during the pandemic. It will be interesting down the road to hear PTA talk about how his vision for this new film evolved, how much rewriting he did, perhaps given changes in the world and in his outlook between 2018 and 2024. Has the tone he envisioned for this evolved?

Personally, I think DiCaprio is at his best when playing buffoons and idiots, not cool guys. I think his strongest performances are in The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Killers of the Flower Moon. He has a gift for comedy.

Yeah you're right I take it back. There's a level of pure confidence and charisma that he exudes in roles like The Departed, The Aviator, Wolf, etc. that I think is so fun to watch whether his character is a loser/asshole or not. This was, necessarily, not present in Killers. But just cause he's schlubby in this doesn't mean he's not charismatic

Slightly off topic, but it always amazes me - when watching BTS footage like that - how actors are able to get into the headspace of a scene while being closely followed by camera crew, sound guys, the director etc and snapped by a load of paparazzi.

In a way, I wonder if all the distractions ARE the headspace.

ANALOGY: An athlete probably prefers the screaming fans, stadium noise, crowded sideline, etc. Ask players to play in an empty stadium and they'd probably be unsettled

I think it depends. Joaquin talks about one slow-motion shot of him walking down the subway in Joker where he's got a grin on his face and out of the corner of his eye he sees a paparazzi and his face turns into a scowl and he said something to the effect of he could never be a good enough actor to pull that off on his own.

Yeah, we saw this during COVID.  I remember some NBA players finding games very strange, like glorified practices.

I'm pretty sure Licorice Pizza was announced pre covid though? Like December 2019?
